I've been doing a bit of Spring Cleaning lately
in my mixed media workroom/playroom/studio.
I have found all kinds of wonderful treasures...
buried in the bottom of boxes...
and the depth of drawers!
It's been like Christmas finding so many fabulous things!
(Though I have to admit I feel quite guilty about my
compulsive gathering...and then gathering some more.) :}
I made this little bracelet out of some faux vintage buttons.
Just added the locket and key toggle and ---
Voila! A new piece of pretty jewelry to wear.
And this lovely sapphire blue - lime green - ocean turquoise
bracelet is made from some beautiful beading components
I found at JoAnn's Fabrics the other day.
This is the name of the company. Check it out!
If you don't have a JoAnn's Fabrics in your neck of the woods,
they have a website, too - JesseJamesBeads.com
Isn't Spring Cleaning just the best thing?
Think I'll do some more tomorrow...
and see what other goodies I can discover!
Leave a comment and I will draw one lucky winner's name
on Tuesday, April 30th to win a custom-made bracelet
created from some of the treasures I've found on my adventures!
blessings, denise :D
Pretty bracelets! I have been wanting to make a button bracelet.... yours turned out really nice! New to beading but I have been collecting fun buttons for quite awhile.
ReplyDelete2 very nice bracelets love them both, can see it was worth having a sort out and tidy up as you found hidden treasures.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Denise! I'm going to have to clean out the craftroom to see what I come up with!

I've been doing a bit of spring cleaning myself. I absolutely adore those blues and greens. Makes me miss the beach in this Michigan weather. You should consider getting a facebook share button on your page. I've linked to you through my page at http://www.facebook.com/crowetreasures
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful bracelets, the colours are lovely. I'm feeling inspired to do some craft room spring cleaning in the home of finding treasure!
ReplyDeleteTook a break from MY spring cleaning in my basement art area which is overflowing! Saw your post and it made me feel better that someone else has a huge stash to purge.
ReplyDeleteYour bracelets are so pretty. I love the vintage style and colors. I just found our charm swap this morning and it was fun to look at each one again .
I'll check on you next week and see which one of us is do ne. LOL
I'm partial to buttons (I remember sorting thru my grandma's buttons as a little kid -- she was an avid sewer/knitter/etc) and I LOVE that first bracelet. You balanced it really well. It's interesting and not overwhelming. Nice job on both.
